[ Academia ] as a Relevant Course outside SLS for those interested in Local Government : Students interested in a real estate law practice may want to take one or more classes outside the law school that deal with investment, land use, politics or design issues. This course explores issues related to cities such as the projects, practices, plans, representations, and sensibilities that combine to create what people know about urban spaces.

General course
Description:

Core course for Urban Studies majors. We will study urban space both historically and cross-culturally. Urban Studies, by definition, is an interdisciplinary field, where the methodological approaches draw upon a diverse set of analytic tools. Disciplines that occupy a prominent place in this class are geography, cultural anthropology, sociology, history, media studies, and literature. In this context, we will discuss the importance of cities around the world to the economic, cultural, and political well-being of modern societies and examine how forces such as industrialization, decentralization, and globalization affect the structure and function of cities.

Course Style: A Substantive course teaches the law, theory, and policy in a particular area of law
